Shakey Ground
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
Won't ease this hurt I feel all over
My life was one special occasion
'Til your leaving dampened the situation
Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven't seen in years
Girl you better throw me a life preserver
'Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears
Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground
